The Biblical Exegesis and Linguistics (BABEL) major is an amazing major and opportunity for missionary-minded students with passion for languages and intercultural ministry. The heartbeat of the BABEL degree program is to carry the Word of God into locations where it is not currently accessible through Bible translations.
“Spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth will continue to the end of time, but Bible translation is a finite task that could be accomplished much sooner. Our prayer is that the Bible can be translated into every language in the lifetimes of the students who are now graduating with BABEL degrees equipped for the task of translation.” -Dr. David Kotter, Dean of School of Theology
